Ariadne, Mistress of The Labyrinth (Poem)

I am no maiden

to be approached with shining countenance

or offers of love and wealth

I will laugh and show you my empty hands

only the foolish think that another can give them

a charmed red thread to lead them to safety

I know the secret of the labyrinth-

have always known- and will freely share:

no key, no secret, no hidden escape

we each stand in the center of a self-created maze

you alone know your way through the twists of your heart

go and walk
